I just placed an order for Zubbles. I can’t believe they’re finally available (shipping in two weeks). I first heard about them in 2005.
I can’t tell you how excited I am.
In case you aren’t aware, Zubbles are colored bubbles invented by Tim Kehoe. If you’d like to read more about their development, the Wikipedia article is a good place to start. Or read the Popular Science story from 2005.
There’s even a Zubbles app for the iPhone!
Do yourself or your kids a favor and order some today! A two-pack is $14.95 at the ZubblesStore.
UPDATE 6/26/2009: Here’s a new article from Popular Science that tells about the process of getting Zubbles to market over the last four years.
UPDATE 7/10/2009: The Discovery Channel News has a new brief article on Zubbles that mentions the chemicals used in the dyes.
